Hi, I'm Michelle – a wife, mother, and a lover of good coffee. I grew up just outside Buffalo, NY, where my happiest memories are of camping in state parks, playing barefoot in the woods, and spending time with family. After graduating from Niagara University, I moved to sunny Tampa, FL. There, I met my wonderful husband, Mike, and we welcomed our two beautiful daughters, Nora and Chloe.

Although I enjoyed Tampa, I missed the simplicity of life back in New York. So, we moved to a suburb outside Rochester, NY, to be closer to family and the outdoors I cherish so much.

Growing up, one of my favorite past times was having early breakfast with my dad, brother, and extended family, connecting over coffee and breakfast before starting our day. My true appreciation for quality coffee began in 2016 when my husband and I visited Italy. We loved how the Italians slowed down to savor every sip and connect with each other. This inspired us to create Serenity Roast, aiming to bring tranquility and pleasure to every cup of coffee.

At Serenity Roast, we invite you to savor serenity and find calm in life's simple moments, whether you're surrounded by nature's beauty or enjoying coffee with loved ones. We hope each cup enriches your soul and helps you appreciate life's serene pleasures

.

Cheers,

Michelle
